Any age. I found out in my late fifties! If you go to my blog at scablander.blogspot.com/sea... and scroll down to "Are you a Dyslexic? Here are a few online tests:" there are couple of websites with tests. These aren't as good as professional testing, but will give you an idea. Even at my age it's nice to know I'm not just stupid or crazy.

I wasn't diagnosed until I was 25, so you can be diagnosed at any age. Online tests are one thing, but I saw an educational psychologist when I went back to college to be tested. If you have it done through an educational body, sometimes you don't have to pay, but if you want a diagnoses yourself, you may have to fork out some cash.
